NFL GameDay 97 Blitzes The Holiday Season

SCEA announced today that NFL GameDay '97, the sequel to last year's top-selling NFL GameDay, has sold 350,000 units in its first week of release.

"The original NFL GameDay was, up until last month, our best-selling PlayStation title to date," said Jack Tretton, vice president, sales, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Seeing the great initial sales figures, as well as consumer and retail praise, NFL GameDay `97 is already another blockbuster hit."

Edgar Bennett, running back for the world champion Green Bay Packers, called GameDay '97 "the greatest football game that's out on the market right now." Bennett beat Terry Glenn, wide-receiver for the New England Patriots, 22-6, in the Second Annual Game Before the Game in New Orleans at this year's Super Bowl.
